I think I've got a fairly cast-iron one here:

I think that might be the only truly undebateable one.

I didn't think he ran long distance?

Austin was good, but was very limited in the ring, due to neck and knee injuries. The crowd absolutely loved him though. If it was greatest tag team of all time, the Dudley Boyz would win hands down.

Legion of Doom.
The Rockers.

Even the Bushwahackers were better than those two.

The Dudley Boyz?
What a joke.

Shawn Michael wasn't even the best member of the Rockers ffs.

Haha, Marty Jannetty was great back in the day. Unfortunately he fucking loved drugs. The Dudley Boyz were the fucking bomb. An overweight, bi-racial tag team who put a fuck-load of people (regardless of gender) through tables. Their record is amazing. Multiple ECW and WWE tag team titles, NWA tag titles and they won tag team titles in Japan as well. They were extremely popular as faces and massively hated as heels.

Wasnt Jansher Khan a better player? I don't know, its been ages since I watched squash.

Having said that, I think the best female squash player of all time has to be Nicole David.

Funny how this thread turned into a wrestling one. ;)

How about Edge + Christian when they were a tag team? They were awesome.

They were fantastic. The 5 second poses of the reigning kings of non-sucktitude were hilarious.

I do think Hendry is debateable actually, O'Sullivan and Davis for example. I think most agree that O'Sullivan is by far the most naturely talented player, and could therefor be classed as the "greatest of all time".

Where as nobody can deny Gebrselassie is indisputable*.


*Although that could have more to do with the fact that most won't be informed enough to name another few another long distance runners. I think the less popular the sport, the more chance of finding a "greatest".

Pah, I'll lay the Peoples Elbow on you. That'll shut you up.

Even Davis agrees Henry was the best ever. O'Sullivan could have been the greatest if he wasn't mental and had won a lot more.

For what he did with the crowd, I thought Stone Cold was phenomenal ...

But Oncey's list is rather accurate I think - though I never really liked Eddie Guerrero.

Rey Mesterio was great.
[/quote]Stone Cold, Mankind, Kane etc are a direct decendant of your Tugboat, Ultimate warrior, Hulk Hogan etc Franchise superstars who may not have all the in ring savvy but ship t-shirts. American wrestling has always been more about commercialism than craft and thats why there have always been John Cena's and there always will be, and thats fine but if you go out to mexico or Japan the pro wrestling circuit is a million miles ahead when it comes to actual capabilities. They are still showmen out there but the mastery of the gymnastic and athletic arts are there for all to see. It was in fact the introduction of 4 wrestlers who learned their craft in the far east and Mexico (Benoit, Saturn, Guerrero and Dean Malenko) who finally showed Vince that franchise superstars neednt be huge lumbering giants. The night Guerrero and Benoit won the wwe and world heavyweight titles was the wwe's best ever moment and paved the way for many stars to follow like Mysterio, Kennedy, Punk etc
There will always be a Stone cold but thankfully true wrestlers are now given a chance to showcase their talents and long may it continue.
[/quote]

Was Tugboat ever popular? He is probably better remembered as Typhoon from Natural Disasters.

I think that Vince did see the benefit in good wrestlers of a smaller size before the Radicalz arrived in WWE. At that stage Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart had about ten world title reigns between them before then but he did often favour huge lumbering giants as you put it (Psycho Sid, Deisel, Lex Luger), but he still has done it in the last ten years. The attempts to put Bobby Lashley and Chris Masters on the map failed miserably (mostly because they both sucked in the ring and couldn't get a reaction good or bad out of the crowd). Brock Lesnar was pushed very quickly as well, but obviously it worked in his case.
 
Brock Lesnar can actually wrestle, though. Meatheads like Masters, and Cena can't.

I bloody hate John Cena and I don't even watch it anymore.

[/quote]The Legion of doom werent a great technical team. They were brilliant to watch tho.
I think the best team ever were the New age outlaws.

OOOoooooooh you didnt know?
 
I just liked the shoulder pads and that finishing move. It seemed amazing at the time, when I was about 8.
